Description:
1918 Ford Model T
If you want an old school, cool T-Bucket, you are looking at the right car! Full custom, 50's style build. Starting at the front; suicide front axle, 54 Chevy drum brakes that stop with ease, heavily fabricated Model A grille shell, 64 New Yorker radiator that keeps it nice and cool on those hot summer days, SBC 305engine- bored30 over with new hypereutectic pistons, amild comp cam, double roller timing chain and high volume oil pump; plenty of power for this little car. Lake style headers with motorcycle muffler side pipes, very streetable and not too loud, but if you want to wake up your neighbors you can just uncork the headers. Turbo 350 automatic transmission that shifts good. Old school fiberglass 23 T-Bucket body built in the 60's with a fiberglass insert. Custom all steel box with leaf spring rear suspension and an S10 rear end. Rides pretty good for a small, light hot rod. Drives great. I've put about 500 miles on it, drove it around for a few months. This car is NOT perfect, it does have small imperfections here and there. It is a NICE driver quality car,NOT a show car.I have worked out most of the bugs, however itstill has a few oil drips here and there, but hey, it's a hot rod; it's going to leak a little oil. I'm 5'10'', 240 pounds, and I fit in this car great. Weighs just about 2,000 pounds with me in it. Titled as a 1918 Ford Roadster Pickup, clean and clear up to date title in my name. Everything is new or has been gone through on this car. Very nice, quality build.

Click here to watch a video of the car running. I have had a lot of questions about the oil leaks and I guess I made it seem worse than it is. I'm just trying to be completely honest. It has chrome valve covers, one seeps a little bit in the corner; it's a very small leak. Transmission pan also has small seepage in one corner. Nothing to sweat over, just little leaks. Just trying to be as honest as I can be about this car, not trying to misrepresent the car. Please give me a call with any questions- 712-215-2530.
